It sounds like a line from the latest Mike Myers movie. It is what the new age arch criminal wants in ransom. ‘One trillion dollars’ to not blow up the world. Hey, maybe it is a new Toyota. Its fast and sporty, big enough for four. Also economical (a must these days). It is the […]
Gary Williams Up Close The night after a stunning 66-65 loss to Baltimore’s Morgan State, I spent a few minutes with Coach Williams. Up close and personal, he seemed tired. Nattily dressed in some real cool Under Armor, he strolled into the Greene Turtle at Germantown. He was there to do his weekly radio show […]
Actually, the entire Washington Post has changed. The layoffs and early retirement packages have really taken their toll on the quality of both the Post and Newsweek (owned by the same folks). Like many Americans, the first part of the paper that I go for is the sports page. The sports page is not what […]
On Saturday afternoon at 4p the Maryland men’s basketball team played the Charlotte 49’ers. The announced attendance was 16,500. Gary Williams thanked the fans for their support. One little issue, there were by my estimate 6,000+ empty seats. Out of 17,500 total. Over the past two months the Terrapin fans have disappeared. Are all the […]
I guess playing offense at Maryland is tough. It has been written that learning the playbook is really difficult for quarterbacks. Ralph Freidgen (head coach) has said so himself. In order to streamline the process, he brought on former Terp coach James Franklin for the 2008 season. James left Terpland to be the receivers coach […]
Josh Portis Transfers Josh Portis, once arguably the most sought after quarterback in the nation 4 years ago, has decided to leave the University of Maryland. The Portis story is a cautionary tale of what it means to be a ‘can’t miss’ prospect. Josh was highly recruited and seemed destined to be with Urban Meyer […]
Two top recruits select Maryland In the past post, I bemoaned the lack of big men on the Maryland Men’s Basketball team. Well today’s post is happily looking to next year. We are fortunate to have two of the nation’s best coming to Terpland for 2009. If the Terps manage to get into the tournament […]
Rob Moxley Returns to College Park It was interesting for followers of the Maryland Terrapins Basketball family to see the former lead recruiter and top assistant Rob Moxley back on the Comcast Center floor. Rob Moxley came to Maryland a few years ago from Charlotte (University of Charlotte 49ers) to help re-build the Terps basketball […]
No Bigs Gives us Postseason Hope For the first time I can remember, the Maryland Terrapins do not have a “Big”. A tall guy, a center, a man in the middle. Somehow, someway we managed to not have the middle covered. There have been many who have questioned the recruiting prowess of Gary Williams, now […]
Defense is still an issue For those who don’t know, the head defensive coach (the defensive coordinator or DC for short) left the Maryland football program a few weeks ago. Chris Cosh, a bit of a vagabond, is now the associate head coach – defense at Kansas State University. Some say he left the big […]
